He
asked
several
gypsies
,
who
did
not
understand
his
language
.
Finally
he
reached
the
place
where
Melqufades
used
to
set
up
his
tent
and
he
found
a
taciturn
Armenian
who
in
Spanish
was
hawking
a
syrup
to
make
oneself
invisible
.
He
had
drunk
down
a
glass
of
the
amber
substance
in
one
gulp
as
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
elbowed
his
way
through
the
absorbed
group
that
was
witnessing
the
spectacle
,
and
was
able
to
ask
his
question
.
The
gypsy
wrapped
him
in
the
frightful
climate
of
his
look
before
he
turned
into
a
puddle
of
pestilential
and
smoking
pitch
over
which
the
echo
of
his
reply
still
floated
:
"
Melqufades
is
dead
.
"
Upset
by
the
news
,
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
stood
motionless
,
trying
to
rise
above
his
affliction
,
until
the
group
dis
-
persed
,
called
away
by
other
artifices
,
and
the
puddle
of
the
taciturn
Armenian
evaporated
completely
.
Other
gypsies
confirmed
later
on
that
Melqufades
had
in
fact
succumbed
to
the
fever
on
the
beach
at
Singapore
and
that
his
body
had
been
thrown
into
the
deepest
part
of
the
Java
Sea
.
The
children
had
no
interest
in
the
news
.
They
insisted
that
their
father
take
them
to
see
the
overwhelming
novelty
of
the
sages
of
Memphis
that
was
being
advertised
at
the
entrance
of
a
tent
that
,
according
to
what
was
said
,
had
belonged
to
King
Solomon
.
They
insisted
so
much
that
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
paid
the
thirty
reales
and
led
them
into
the
center
of
the
tent
,
where
there
was
a
giant
with
a
hairy
torso
and
a
shaved
head
,
with
a
copper
ring
in
his
nose
and
a
heavy
iron
chain
on
his
ankle
,
watching
over
a
pirate
chest
.
When
it
was
opened
by
the
giant
,
the
chest
gave
off
a
glacial
exhalation
.
Inside
there
was
only
an
enor-mous
,
transparent
block
with
infinite
internal
needles
in
which
the
light
of
the
sunset
was
broken
up
into
colored
stars
.
Disconcerted
,
knowing
that
the
children
were
wait-ing
for
an
immediate
explanation
,
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
ventured
a
murmur
:
"
It
's
the
largest
diamond
in
the
world
.
"
"
No
,
"
the
gypsy
countered
.
"
It
's
ice
.
"
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
,
without
understanding
,
stretched
out
his
hand
toward
the
cake
,
but
the
giant
moved
it
away
.
"
Five
reales
more
to
touch
it
,
"
he
said
.
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
paid
them
and
put
his
hand
on
the
ice
and
held
it
there
for
several
minutes
as
his
heart
filled
with
fear
and
jubilation
at
the
contact
with
mys-tery
.
Without
knowing
what
to
say
,
he
paid
ten
reales
more
so
that
his
sons
could
have
that
prodigious
experience
.
Little
Jose
Arcadio
refused
to
touch
it
.
Aureliano
,
on
the
other
hand
,
took
a
step
forward
and
put
his
hand
on
it
,
withdrawing
it
immediately
.
"
It
's
boiling
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
startled
.
But
his
father
paid
no
attention
to
him
.
Intoxicated
by
the
evidence
of
the
miracle
,
he
forgot
at
that
moment
about
the
frustration
of
his
delirious
undertakings
and
Melqufades
'
body
,
abandoned
to
the
appetite
of
the
squids
.
He
paid
another
five
reales
and
with
his
hand
on
the
cake
,
as
if
giving
testimony
on
the
holy
scriptures
,
he
exclaimed
:
"
This
is
the
great
invention
of
our
time
.
"
When
the
pirate
Sir
Francis
Drake
attacked
Riohacha
in
the
sixteenth
century
,
Orsula
Iguaran
's
great-great-grandmother
became
so
frightened
with
the
ringing
of
alarm
bells
and
the
firing
of
cannons
that
she
lost
control
of
her
nerves
and
sat
down
on
a
lighted
stove
.
The
burns
changed
her
into
a
useless
wife
for
the
rest
of
her
days
.
She
could
only
sit
on
one
side
,
cushioned
by
pillows
,
and
something
strange
must
have
happened
to
her
way
of
walking
,
for
she
never
walked
again
in
public
.
She
gave
up
all
kinds
of
social
activity
,
obsessed
with
the
notion
that
her
body
gave
off
a
singed
odor
.
Dawn
would
find
her
in
the
courtyard
,
for
she
did
not
dare
fall
asleep
lest
she
dream
of
the
English
and
their
ferocious
attack
dogs
as
they
came
through
the
windows
of
her
bedroom
to
submit
her
to
shameful
tortures
with
their
red-hot
irons
.
Her
husband
,
an
Aragonese
merchant
by
whom
she
had
two
children
,
spent
half
the
value
of
his
store
on
medicines
and
pastimes
in
an
attempt
to
alleviate
her
terror
.
Finally
he
sold
the
business
and
took
the
family
to
live
far
from
the
sea
in
a
settlement
of
peaceful
Indians
located
in
the
foothills
,
where
he
built
his
wife
a
bedroom
without
windows
so
that
the
pirates
of
her
dream
would
have
no
way
to
get
in
.
In
that
hidden
village
there
was
a
native-born
tobacco
planter
who
had
lived
there
for
some
time
,
Don
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
,
with
whom
Orsula
's
great-great-grandfather
established
a
partnership
that
was
so
lucrative
that
within
a
few
years
they
made
a
fortune
.
Several
centuries
later
the
great-great-grandson
of
the
native-born
planter
married
the
great-great-granddaughter
of
the
Aragonese
.
Therefore
,
every
time
that
Orsula
became
exercised
over
her
husband
's
mad
ideas
,
she
would
leap
back
over
three
hundred
years
of
fate
and
curse
the
day
that
Sir
Francis
Drake
had
attacked
Riohacha
.
It
was
simply
a
way
.
of
giving
herself
some
relief
,
because
actually
they
were
joined
till
death
by
a
bond
that
was
more
solid
that
love
:
a
common
prick
of
conscience
.
They
were
cousins
.
They
had
grown
up
together
in
the
old
village
that
both
of
their
ancestors
,
with
their
work
and
their
good
habits
,
had
transformed
into
one
of
the
finest
towns
in
the
province
.
Although
their
marriage
was
predicted
from
the
time
they
had
come
into
the
world
,
when
they
expressed
their
desire
to
be
married
their
own
relatives
tried
to
stop
it
.
They
were
afraid
that
those
two
healthy
products
of
two
races
that
had
interbred
over
the
centuries
would
suffer
the
shame
of
breeding
iguanas
.
There
had
already
been
a
horrible
precedent
.
An
aunt
of
Orsula
's
,
married
to
an
uncle
of
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
,
had
a
son
who
went
through
life
wearing
loose
,
baggy
trousers
and
who
bled
to
death
after
having
lived
forty-two
years
in
the
purest
state
of
virginity
,
for
he
had
been
born
and
had
grown
up
with
a
cartilaginous
tail
in
the
shape
of
a
corkscrew
and
with
a
small
tuft
of
hair
on
the
tip
.
A
pig
's
tail
that
was
never
allowed
to
be
seen
by
any
woman
and
that
cost
him
his
life
when
a
butcher
friend
did
him
the
favor
of
chopping
it
off
with
his
cleaver
.
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
,
with
the
whimsy
of
his
nineteen
years
,
resolved
the
problem
with
a
single
phrase
:
"
I
do
n't
care
if
I
have
piglets
as
long
as
they
can
talk
.
"
So
they
were
married
amidst
a
festival
of
fireworks
and
a
brass
band
that
went
on
for
three
days
.
They
would
have
been
happy
from
then
on
if
Orsula
's
mother
had
not
terrified
her
with
all
manner
of
sinister
predictions
about
their
offspring
,
even
to
the
extreme
of
advising
her
to
refuse
to
consummate
the
marriage
.
Fearing
that
her
stout
and
willful
husband
would
rape
her
while
she
slept
,
Orsula
,
before
going
to
bed
,
would
put
on
a
rudimentary
kind
of
drawers
that
her
mother
had
made
out
of
sailcloth
and
had
reinforced
with
a
system
of
crisscrossed
leather
straps
and
that
was
closed
in
the
front
by
a
thick
iron
buckle
.
That
was
how
they
lived
for
several
months
.
During
the
day
he
would
take
care
of
his
fighting
cocks
and
she
would
do
frame
embroidery
with
her
mother
.
At
night
they
would
wrestle
for
several
hours
in
an
anguished
violence
that
seemed
to
be
a
substitute
for
the
act
of
love
,
until
popular
intuition
got
a
whiff
of
something
irregular
and
the
rumor
spread
that
Orsula
was
still
a
virgin
a
year
after
her
marriage
because
her
husband
was
impotent
.
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
was
the
last
one
to
hear
the
rumor
.
"
Look
at
what
people
are
going
around
saying
,
Orsula
,
"
he
told
his
wife
very
calmly
.
"
Let
them
talk
,
"
she
said
.
"
We
know
that
it
's
not
true
.
"
So
the
situation
went
on
the
same
way
for
another
six
months
until
that
tragic
Sunday
when
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
won
a
cockfight
from
Prudencio
Aguilar
.
Furious
,
aroused
by
the
blood
of
his
bird
,
the
loser
backed
away
from
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
so
that
everyone
in
the
cockpit
could
hear
what
he
was
going
to
tell
him
.
"
Congratulations
!
"
he
shouted
.
"
Maybe
that
rooster
of
yours
can
do
your
wife
a
favor
.
"
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
serenely
picked
up
his
rooster
.
"
I
'll
be
right
back
,
"
he
told
everyone
.
And
then
to
Prudencio
Aguilar
:
"
You
go
home
and
get
a
weapon
,
because
I
'm
going
to
kill
you
.
"
Ten
minutes
later
he
returned
with
the
notched
spear
that
had
belonged
to
his
grandfather
.
At
the
door
to
the
cockpit
,
where
half
the
town
had
gathered
,
Prudencio
Aguilar
was
waiting
for
him
.
There
was
no
time
to
defend
himself
.
Jose
Arcadio
Buendfa
's
spear
,
thrown
with
the
strength
of
a
bull
and
with
the
same
good
aim
with
which
the
first
Aureliano
Buendfa
had
exterminated
the
jaguars
in
the
region
,
pierced
his
throat
.
